Creativity and Innovative Teams

Chris Harris

Chapter Chapter 4 in Building Innovative Teams, 2003, pp 49-62 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The vital essence of invention is creativity. Yet creative people and teamwork are potentially uneasy bedfellows. By their very nature, creative people are different – different in their expectations, temperaments, even their beliefs and values. And it is these very distinctions in disposition that can lead to difficulties in team performance development. This chapter looks at the many obstacles and points of discussion here, and reveals insights into how it is possible to have the best of both worlds: creativity and teamwork.
